• 2:11
  Speaker 1: your daddy? Well, if it's the Knicks right now, it's

  Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers. That's who's your daddy right now? As
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the Pacers they they're that close they can feel it
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: at this point. After a dud the other night, Tyrense
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Halliburton and the Pacers looking to bounce back get it
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: done as they hosted Jalen Brunson and the Knickerbockers there
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in Game four the Eastern Conference Finals. I assume you
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: were watching. Maybe not, maybe you did something else. You
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: were sleeping. I don't know what you were doing.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: You have no idea.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not stalking you. But don't worry. We watched and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: it was a pleasure. I didn't have to hit the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: mute button once. No doors Burke. I just got to
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: watch a game without having to mute it. Thank God. Hallelujah. Man,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss TNT. Gonna miss it. Maybe one more
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: game for TNT in this crap broadcasting, at least part
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of it. Anyway, Tyrese Haliburton did a little bit of this,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of that, and some of that and ended
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: up with thirty two points, fifteen assists, twelve rebounds without
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: a turnover, and that performance, that performance putting the Pacers
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: on his back there and they zoom passed the Knicks.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: They win one thirty to one, twenty one to the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: final there three to one lead in the Eastern Conference Finals.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Haliburt the first player with such a stat line more
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: on that later in the hour as he gets it
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: done there, and the first player in the modern ear
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: since they first tracked these statistics to.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Have that line. Game five will be Thursday in New York.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: We will not be on that night because we'll be
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: doing the Mallard Meet and greet in.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Vancouver that night, but we're watching I assume we'll watch
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the end of it from the from the bar we'll
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: be at there in Vancouver having a great time. Anyway,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: let us discuss what just happened in game number four,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and the better story is in the losing locker room.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: So that is where we will begin this malar monologue.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Who is the guilty party?
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Who is the.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Guilty party for Tom Thibodeau and the Knickerbockers who lose
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: this game and did not have a single lead in
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the second half. They trailed the entire second half of
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that game. So I've got mousetrap, media machine, and many
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: bottles of rum, and we will combine all all of
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to make a
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: dirty water dog because the next Now they're not just
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the dirty water, they're the dog in the dirty water
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: as well. Who we all right, So let's get right
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to the heart of the matter. You see what I
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: did there the heart of the matter. Now, he's a
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: secondary actor, but he played a key role in the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: demise of the film that would be Josh Hart bit
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: of a fringe NBA players, Well, they're not that good.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: He's just kind of.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: A roster guy.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Not great, not terrible, He's just kind of there. He's
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: played a long time in the NBA and nobody's gonna
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: accuse him of being a good player.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: But he was bad. He was an evil doer for
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: the Knicks in this particular game.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: In fact, he was the duke, the duke of a
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: lot of it. In the second quarter of the game
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: turned in the second quarter. Here it flipped and if
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you look at the surveillance tape from the crime scene,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you can see that Josh Hart left a smoking gun
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: at the crime scene. There was a biohazard on the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: court there, as Indiana had set up a mouse trap.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: They set up a mouse trap and Heart bit the cheese.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: You're not supposed to bite the cheese. He bit the cheese.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: There committed five turnovers, four of them in the first
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: half of the game, and the Pacers got out were
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: able to move the ball down the court, matriculate the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: ball down the court in transition, and they capitalized on
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: almost all of those mistakes by Josh Hart. They turned
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: those five turnovers into directly into eight.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Points on the other end. So that's that's not good,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: he said, well, it's only eight points, okay.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Hart also fouled out of the game, and the Pacers
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: scored nine points, either as a result or directly after
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: those fouls.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Nine points.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Now, as a team, the Knicks finished with seventeen turnovers.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Seventeen turnovers, and I gave you all kinds of numbers.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Indian outscored New York by eleven in that game, and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: they had thirteen more points on the fast break. And
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: he's gonna break it down point by point here. Now,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the other villains for New York, you could say, well,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Mitchell Robinson that it's kind of just a big lugging
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: plotting player. And then mckil bridges, who they traded seventeen
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: thousand draft picks to get he sucked. Miles McBride, who's
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: a back cup good name, though, doesn't Miles McBride sound
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: like a fake Hollywood name, some kind of superhero Miles
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: McBride to save the day, not on this game. Did
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: not save the day all right?
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Now? Page two.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: So Indiana wins the game and the story is all
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: about someone's dad. What John Halliburton a returned to watch
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: his kid there. He had been forced well we talk
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: about the hardship forced to watch the previous eight Indiana
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Pacer postseason games from somewhere else as he got into
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: it on the court with the Greek freak Giannis Identa
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Coomba in one of the great moments scripted reality there
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: of the NBA, following the last second shot to ellmen
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Nate Milwaukee previously in the postseason got right there. So
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: this has become a big talking point in the in
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the NBA media. So I'm gonna play the game thumbs
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: up or thumbs down. So thumbs up or thumbs down
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: on the narrative that Tyrese Halliburton's father inspired this victory, because.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: I'm getting a lot of that.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I'm getting a lot of that that this win was
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: because of John Halliburton sitting at the very top near
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: not very Toppy's in the box there. So thumbs up
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: or thumbs down on Tyre's Halliburton's father inspiring the Pacers win.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: So I will not be Benny Bright's side on this.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I am going I'm going thumbs down, a strong, powerful
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: thumbs down on this. So let me get so we're
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: supposed to believe that the reason that Tyree's played well
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: was because his daddy was at the arena, and that's
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: that's what pushed the pacers.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Over the top. Are you bleeping kidding me? Seriously?
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Is this the latest Disney fairy tale being peddled by
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the NBA media machine that works overtime, the pr machine. Oh,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: it's everything's got to be a Disney type story and
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: that's all. Calmed down. Take a breath, Okay, take a breath.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Calm down, it's not a Hollywood movie. I'm happy the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: dad was back. We had said it was kind of
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: ridiculous let him back. I would have put him at
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the top of the arena. I wouldn't put him in
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: luxury box. I would have put John Halliburt into the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: very top of the arena. I'm not saying it wasn't
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: nice to have him back. That's fine. I'm out of
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: total curmudget. However, I mean to think that somehow he's
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: sitting in a luxury box, the dad, and that's why
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the kid plays well.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Here. It's a classic overreaction. I got a good story.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I went to sports writing one oh one back in
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the day, and I got to justify that. I learned
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: this like the second day of sports writing, one oh one.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: You gotta bring the family into the narrative. You're gonna
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: bring the Dan or the mom in there and the kid,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: and oh man, that'll sell. That'll play in Peoria.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So the guy the way I look
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: at it, you know, what, do I know, I'm just
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: doing the old night shop. But the way I look
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: at it, he had a bounce back game. And and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: of course now they're writing all these think pieces about man,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you know, there's some kind of spiritual connection with the
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: dad and all that stuff. But maybe, just maybe, I
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: know this is outrageous what I'm about to say. It's
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: an unpopular opinion, but maybe Halliburton ty Reese Aaliburton realized, well,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: he didn't play that well in the last game. So
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know, he watched him take me practiced. Maybe
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: he shot a few more baskets.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Some of that made some adjustments, played better. But no,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: it's got to be the dad. It's gotta be the dad.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: That's why. Has nothing to do with the practice, the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: extra shots, watching the film, whatever, finding out what the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Knicks were doing and how to attack that. No, yeah, okay,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: And the Pacers were at home, and so some of
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: these other scrubs on the Pacers. The role players usually
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: played better at.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Home, so we had some of that that happened as well.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: All right, now the last word here, So what do
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the Jalen Brunson New York Knicks? What do they do
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: here to get back in the series?
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: What do they do?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: They're down three games to one, down three games to one,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: So what do they do here to get back in
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the series? And are there are a couple of things.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I have two words that I jotted down on my
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: notes app on my phone, divine intervention.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: That would be my first option.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: So the Knicks need to get together a rabbi, a priest,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: a miracle healer. They can bring them all together, medical medium,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: get them to have a huddle, a shaman and one
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: or two witches and bring them all together there. They
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: can huddle up and call an audible here. And if
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: that doesn't work, they need to get a time machine.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: And they got to go back and get Serrano, great
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: character in a movie called Major League. And they can
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: build a shrine in the next locker room, and they
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: can have two Joe bu statues and then a couple
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: mini bottles of rum, and that will inspire them to
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: come back in this year. Listen, the Knicks are cooked.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: In fact, they're cooked the way I like my steak.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Well done, Okay, charcoal, That's how cooked they are at
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: this point. Stick a fork in them, do whatever you want,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: whatever cliche you want to throw out there for the Knicks.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: This is the team that the New York media machine
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: was hyping up, the greatest Nick team since.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Walt Clyde Fraser. The year of the Nick.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Everything had opened up, the parting of the Red Sea,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: in this case, the parting of the East River. It
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: was already the Knicks playing a tomato caned pacer team,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: and then they had Minnesota or OKC in the finals championship.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Then they had to play the games. Then they hadn't
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: play it. Now the good news, and it is a
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: positive year. At least the Nick fan got to experience
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the joy of a championship. Because I'm pretty sure they
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: had a ticker tape parade in the Canyon of Heroes
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: after New York beat Boston in the previous round. I
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: know there was mayhem in Manhattan throwing trash at Pacer fans,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the classy Knickerbocker supporters there. So they got to celebrate championship,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: so congratulations. Normally you have to actually win to celebrate.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: The Knicks did not, they will not, but hey, they
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: got to celebrate what it was like to win a championship.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: That's kind of cool that you don't actually have to
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: win the championship to have a celebration. And well, we
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: like Jalen Brunson, We're not here to trash Dalen Brunson.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson who played well, good stats again, Tyreus Haliburton,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: ate your lunch, okay, or I guess your dinner because
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the game was played at night here. But Haliburton fifteen assists,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: no turnovers. The Knicks as a team had seventeen assists
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: as a team and seventeen turnovers.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: So it's not that deep. It's an Ockham's.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Razor situation, simplest answers most likely the right answer, and
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: don't even get me started, like Obi Toppin, who's not
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: a key player for the Pacers but is a former
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Nick who they gave away in some transaction a couple
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: of years back, and now he is dancing on your
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: grave with a couple of baskets lad In games that
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: were key baskets in this series. Obi Toppin adding some
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: salt to the wound. Now, if you want to get technical,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and why not, we have plenty of time if you
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: would like to get technical. The move here and and
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the move is rather simple. The move is that you
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: need a couple of twisted ankles. If you're the if
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: you're the Knicks, you know Halliburton, and you start with that,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: you know something would happen. We don't want anyone to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: get hurt. But if something were to happen to Halliburton,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: he got hurt, that would be that would be interesting.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Pascal siakam boy, if he got hurt, that would really
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: change things. And so you've got those two things. And
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: then if the NBA decides they need a game six
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and we find out the extender Scott Foster's in there
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: for game five, that helps you out. Scott Foster's got
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: a really good winning percentage for the team that's trailing
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: in a series. So you bring Scott Foster and that
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: get that'll get your game. And then you have a
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: twisted ankle that'll get you another game. And then all
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, the game seven and you're alive. Do
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I think that's going to happen? No, I don't think.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I don't believe that's going to happen. We are we
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: are headed towards tape delay NBA Finals territory with Oklahoma
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: City and Indiana. And if you are someone that enjoys
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: the agony of big corporations having to deal with crap,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: that is.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Man alive. Good luck?
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, hey listen. Advice to Jalen Brunson
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: and Tom Thibboteau. You might want to start riding your
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: talking point memo on the will get Back next Year speeches.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: What you do is you start out with a compliment.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: You see, the Pacers played very well. They deserve to win.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: And then you say, well, if a few things had
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: been different, we would have won. And you talk about
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: how much you love the team and how much you
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: love the fans, and how much you believe the team's
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: gonna be right there and you're gonna bounce back, and
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, the whole thing. We know it's gonna happen,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: and it happens all the time, and you lose, that's.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: What you do.
• 16:22

• 17:42
  Speaker 1: this hour from football. It's May, it's late May, We're
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: almost into June.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: And so that means.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: A staple of the football calendar, organized team activities, which
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: is guaranteed to provide content for fledgling overnight sports radio
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: gas bags. The offseason workouts so intense, so wild, that
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: some people cannot be bothered to attend said workouts.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Well, not everyone is there.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: For example, Hassan Reddick, remember him a sack merchant back
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: in the day, and he's still making a lot of money.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Son Reddick, who was someone who just joined this offseason
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay football team, the Buccaneers, and he decided, Eh,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go. I'm gonna skip the first day
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: of OTAs. Now, if you didn't see this, perhaps not,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I don't blame you. I thought this was interesting considering
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: what happened with him last year. The money quote was
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: from Todd Bowles. The really entertaining some Todd Bowles is
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: a much better SoundBite than he is a head coach.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I liked Todd Bowles cas baggery anyway, Todd Bowles said,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: when asked about the big defensive pickup of the Buccaneers
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: not showing up. He said, I'm sure one of these
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: days will see him close.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Quote.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Gotta love the dry eloquence of Todd Bowles. So let
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: us discuss. So you got the edge rusher who had
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: a very public falling out with the Jets and.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: The Eagles and the only anyway.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: So you've got Hassan Reddick, who has now skipped the
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: beginning of OTAs with his new team, the Buccaneers. The
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: head coach, Todd Bowles says, quote, I'm sure one of
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: these days will see him close.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Quote.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: So should the Bucks be worried about their big defensive pickup?
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: I have on this one.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I've got Warner Brothers, Sampler, plate and chivalrous and we
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Things together, and we're going to take a.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Trip to can Kun, which is likely where Hassan Reddick
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: is and can't coon somewhere.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: So number one, I'm not in my head. Yes on
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: this one, I'm not in my head. Yes.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Now, this is absolutely, positively, undeniably a problem. Now you
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: can say it's not a big problem, but you can't
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: say it's not a problem. You can't because of the player.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Now I realized there are always the jocksniffers, the fanboys
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: in the media that are out there that will point
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: out that OTA's are vall on Terry, Capitol v Fall
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: and Terry. It's the It's the smell test that's the problem.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: The smell test is the problem here.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: This is a guy who sat out months with the
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: He was unhappy with Philadelphia and they went to the.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Jets because of a contract beef. Where's the beef? He
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: was very upset, and now he gets another fact check
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: in Tampa. Granted it's not a long term deal, but
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: he got a good amount of money and it was
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: fourteen million or something for one year. And this is
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: the first impression, I ain't showing up. It's not I
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: ain't playing unless I got mine. He's getting the contract,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: He's just not going to show up. And this becomes
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: a I mentioned the smell test. This is a Warner
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Brothers classic cartoon, pepe Le pew p. Yeah, what stinks?
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: All right? And it's all about the optiction.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: We had a conversation last night about bad manners, like
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Coop has terrible manners, and this is bad manners. I
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: know you technically don't have to be there, but you're
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: already a question mark. Right, You're already a question mark
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: in terms of attitude from last year, and it's a
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: fresh opportunity to say, oh, you know, I got that
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: situation done with.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: I've got a new contract, I'm on a new team.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Things are different. It's not like it was last year.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: And you have to build up the.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Bubble of trust, right, And your decision rather than build
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: up the bubble of trust is to go m I A.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: That is your decision. And I think that's being a
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: great leader. I mean, maybe I'm wrong. I don't know,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: but the man has an allergic reaction Hassan Reddick to
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: voluntary workers, it's the bare minimum condition is a lot
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: of lazy people. I guess he's lazy, you know, just
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do anything extra, you know, it's
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: like you should work for the government or something like that.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: I work at the DMV.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I see a lot of people the DMV that do
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: the bare minimum, go through go through the motions and
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: all that. And so you see that that phrase ota,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: you see that on your calendar app and immediately you
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: buy some suntan lotionan and you're like booking a beach
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: vacation somewhere far away. It's a it's kind of like
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: dway looks like you're starting at a new company. You've
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: changed careers, you're starting at a new company, and you
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: have a zoom meeting and you decide to ghost the
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: zoom meeting.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm good. I'm good and.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Uh I did love Todd Bowles quote again saying that
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: we'll see him one of these days. We'll see we'll
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: see the player. Hassan Redick, the Bucks coach said, Which
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: is I think what we all say.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: If you're out and about and you've ordered an uber and.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: You see that there's a lot of traffic in the
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: cars being and all that stuff, because it's stuck in traffic,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: you say, wow, we'll see the uber one of these days.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: It'll show up. One of these days, it'll show up,
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: all right now, Page two, speaking of no shows.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Speaking of no shows, you have tight End Kyle Pitts,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: who did not show up to OTAs in Atlanta.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: This is the tight end.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: You told me, you draft Nicks, that this is God's
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: gift to the tight end position. You told me that
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: there's no way this does not work out. Built like
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: a Donnis, runs like a gazelle, unbelievable. Right, So he
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: has decided not show up to the OTAs in Atlanta
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: and your thoughts on this particular situation, so to this
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: one is gummy? All right, this one is absolutely gummy.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: You've got a guy who's been underwhelming. It's been kind,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: he's been underwhelming since his rookie year. He has not
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: lived up to the immense hype that he had coming
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: out of the draft, and this is when he decides
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: to make a statement very bizarre. So again, just for
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the record, this is a top five pick that you
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: told me was going to be amazing, the draft nerds
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: told me was going to be amazing. A unicorn, a
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: unicorn tight end, going to rewrite the record book. So
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: this is the final year. I believe, I believe I
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: have this right, final year of his rookie contract, and
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: he's upset he's not getting an extension and he's bothered
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: by that.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Has he even earned a second contract?
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Does anyone think that he's what he has done, his
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: body of work is worthy of a second contract, Like
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: another can't miss guy who flopped the idea of Kyle
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Pitts coming out. I remember we did the typical draft
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: shows and you were like, Oh, this guy's a three
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: headed dragon, fire breathing dragon, and he's out there running
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: around the idea of Kyle Pits much better than what
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: has been the reality of Kyle Pits.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: He has been a ampler plate with the Atlanta.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Falcons of injuries, inconsistent performance, and a lot of excuses.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: People that love to make excuses that I said this
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: guy was gonna be good.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: I told you he was going to be great. He's
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: not great. It's not his fault. It's not his fault.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Blame the quarterbacks, because of course there's never been players,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: never been players that have put up great stats with
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: mediocre corpe.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: It never happens. You have to have a great quarterback
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: to put up good stats. You have to. It's a rule.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: It's a rule. You have to. You have to unless
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: you don all right, now, final points.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: So we go down to Cincinnati is where we go
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: where the Beals and their wide receiver Jamar Chase said
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: that while he does not does not want to play
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: in the exhibition games, he understands. He said that he
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: may may have to because that's what's best for the
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati football team, which has lost its first two games
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: the past three seasons.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: They have gotten out to zero and two starts.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: What say you on the generosity of Jamar Chase to
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: say we might have to play and some some.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Of these exhibition games. There are only two exhibition games anyway,
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: so it's really about playing in one of them. They're
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: gonna play one of them, and that's that's, that's that.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: So, uh, my reaction is how how wonderful chivalrous is
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: my word, how chivalrous of Jamar cha very noble, a
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: noble star, a noble star who signed the record setting
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: contract with the Cincinnati football team. And these guys, this
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: is one thing that's completely changing my lifetime. These guys
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: treat the preseason like it is beneath them. It is
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: a nuisance, it is beneath them. They are way too
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: good to go out and get some reps, not even
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: a couple of reps. Just it's August. I can't do it.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I cannot get out there in August. And so this
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: is where these these modern guys fall behind the weasel term,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the shield of the weasel, and the weasel term on
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: this is out of an abundance of caution. You got
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: that a lot during the pandemic, right you couldn't go
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: out and eat eat, you know, fries at at a
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: restaurant because of abundance of caution and all that stuff,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: which was turned out to be total bull crap by
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: the politician. Anyway, the way you don't play a lot.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: But you can play a little bit, you can play
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: a little bit, and you can't approach this thing like
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: playing scared.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: That's really the message, right, And it seems like the
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bungals, if you will, they start out owing to
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: pretty much every year. It's like a birth what right
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: in Cincinnati? And then what happens is they have to
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: grab a shovel because they start out on they got
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: to grab a shovel. And then they have to dig
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: out of a hole just because they've they've dug themselves
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: a hole. And and maybe if they actually try something
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: a little different in these exhibition games, they wouldn't come
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: out of the gate looking like they just met each other.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: It's like the first day of school they started at
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: a new school. Hey, what's your name?
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: And the right out of the tunnel before the game,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: all right, we have play some football. Your name Bill, John,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: all right, whatever your name it? And now the light
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: bulb has turned on. The light bulb has turned on.

  Speaker 4: It is being reported by an NBA insider that thanks
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: to Jason Tatum's injury and rumors of the Celtics breaking
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: up their core, that Joannison Tenna Kumbo could stay with
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: the Bucks for at least one more season.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: But do you think the.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: State of the Celtics changes things for the Greek freak.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not going to the Celtics. That's not happening.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: So they're trying to They if they do start picking
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the team apart, they're gonna unload salaries. So why would
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: they bring in one of the highest paid players in
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: the NBA that made any sense?
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Why he would go there. It's gonna be Miami, or
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: he'll go to.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: The Lakers or the Clippers or the Nicks and one
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: of those teams is not going well.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Not going to stay with the Bucks because the Celtics are.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Gonna be only He's gonna stay with the Bucks because
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: they're gonna suck because the Lillard's out next year, he's
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: gotta pop to Killes next.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: The Red Sox are now under five hundred and the
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: fall in the fourth place in the Al East, and
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: this has sparked rumors about Alex Corra's future being in doubt.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Ben is the end near for Cora's Boston tenure.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm not boots on the ground, but my people
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: in Boston are telling me that Cora's checked out.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: That's what they're saying. That he's just not into it.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: This whole graduation kerfluffle.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Where his daughter graduated in the morning and he couldn't
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: make the game at night because he had a dinner
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: to attend. That did not go over well with the
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: natives in Boston. And it's just he's coddling the third baseman,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Rafael Devers, who's a dh now and refuses to play
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: any other position than dash and alscor is protecting him.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: That's not going over well with the people in He's in.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: He's definitely in jeopardy. They did.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: They just gave him a new contract, though so unlikely
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: to be fired in like the next month.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: Next eating legend Joey Chestnutt broke his own popcorn eating
